Kidney transplant arteriopathy revisited
The frequent coincidence of transplant arteriopathy and indicators of antibody-mediated rejection suggests that this arterial remodelling could indeed be antibody-mediated rejection chronicity. The transplant community should re-examine transplant arteriopathy with an expanded definition including the previously ignored hypoelastotic lesion in order to re-confirm or reject with confidence transplant arteriopathy as Additional Diagnostic Parameter of Antibody-Mediated Rejection chronicity, and to learn about its prognostic and therapeutic implications.
